It was nice for the... Liked: We liked the location to the proximity of where we needed to be. We also liked the price. Disliked: The cleanliness of the room was not up to Parr. When we checked in the first thing that I checked was the air filters on the air-conditioning unit and they were so compact with dust that I personally clean them in the bathtub. Then I found that the bathtub drain did not drain properly. We did not have enough towels or any extra toilet paper so we had to go to the front desk and get them. Also, there was not an ice machine that was easily available.

Cheap place to stay but... Liked: The AC and kitchenette Disliked: Get a new luggage cart! There were only two and one of them (the one I used) was broken. Housekeeping and maintenance needs to do a better job-having a clogged shit-filled toilet for the next customer is unsanitary & just disgusting. I didn’t find out about the toilet until I had unpacked everything, maintenance leaves at 3-4pm and is gone for the weekend so they put me in a new room and it took me another hour to switch rooms with the broken luggage cart. Housekeeping didn’t come at all during my stay there.
